This isn’t even the qualifying incident; he helped promote this antivax shit in American Samoa and at least 79 people died there. Most of those were children.
The fact that the Senate confirmed this freak is insane. The fact that Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican against reaffirms the stereotype that Republicans only care about something when it affects them - Mitch is a polio survivor and therefore pro vaccinations…
I mean… I 100% agree, and yet you and I and everyone reading this are carrying around a phone that can do the exact same shit
Uh the officer’s life was at risk.
Are you implying the cop should have let the guy grab his gun?
Guy was a J6 rioter. By definition, stupid and crazy. Prone to making bad decisions, including a vocal declaration of suicidal intent to a police officer. What stops the guy from putting the gun to his head, then thinking “hey wait, I’m on Team Trump! Surely he’ll pardon me for this too!” And then shooting the cop instead?
Should the cop have run away? Now you’ve got a J6 rioter with a gun in a stolen police cruiser.
Please run us through the scenario in which it’s a good idea to let the mentally unstable rioter grab his gun.
And I’m not cheering the cop, either. I’m betting the cop is a fellow Republican, because…cop… but also because he foolishly trusted the J6 rioter to act reasonably and rationally. When the information presented by his computer stated this individual has a rap sheet and this situation was going to become an arrest, cop could have properly and immediately performed the arrest by standing between guy and car door then cuffing guy, thus not allowing guy the opportunity to make another stupid decision.
Cop treated this 70 in a 55 like it was a normal boring 70 in a 55 by a normal boring citizen, and this is what happened.
…“fairy”?
